Wine and Chocolate Pairing

Wine and Chocolate pairing tips
Chocolate and wine have many similarities such as tannins and intense flavors. To enjoy them together, it’s important to match their intensities. The darker your chocolate is – we’re talking 80 plus percent cacao here – the more intense your wine should be. Something sweet and fruity just won’t work. A light red or a white wine won’t taste like anything after a bite of a good quality chocolate bar. Instead, look for fruity, intense wines—like a full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or fruit Zinfandel. A lighter milk or white chocolate would pair well with a lighter wine like a Pinot Noir. Try out your own pairings to find the perfect union of chocolate and wine. Cheers!
